Description

Ruth Stone's poetry is a testament to her unique voice and vision. This comprehensive selection of her work showcases her remarkable range and depth, from formal lyrics to fierce feminist and political poems, and meditations on love, loss, and the human experience.

With a foreword by Sharon Olds, this collection offers a glimpse into the world of a true American original, a poet who continued to write extraordinary poetry well into her 90s. Stone's poems are characterized by their intelligence, humor, and directness, making them both accessible and thought-provoking.

What Love Comes To is a Poetry Book Society Recommendation, and its publication is a tribute to Stone's enduring legacy as a poet of great humor, bold vision, and unflinching insight.
